It can be done, but it's not all the east to make look right. I have been modding an HD passenger pillon and it's not all that easy. You might just want to research seats and buy one that fits your needs.

Thank you XL50, what sort of challenges are you having with the HD pillion modification? What type of foam are you using? Any insight will help. Thanks.
